If Julie Powell can do it, I can do it. Since Julia's The French Chef Cookbook is already on my kitchen bookshelf, that will be my guide. And, I will not follow a timetable.
I've often said that cooking saved my life. Tom and I moved to Minnesota from Los Angeles in late 1995 - notice late 1995 - notice again Minnesota. Needless to say, it was extremely cold. And isolated. Tom (a radiohead) had to work evenings and weekends and I would not meet many new people until the Spring thaw when I met Lynda - prior to that, most people simply went about the business of keeping warm. As for myself, I would listen to The Splendid Table, buy the books that Lynn recommended, shop for ingredients in local Asian and Mexican markets, and work through the recipes. That was how I taught myself to cook.
That was also how I made friends - friends I love - and whom I love to feed. This blog is dedicated to them, and my husband of 16 years. Enjoy -ajm

This blog is a great idea. I think you might need more taste-testers. John and I will be in St. Paul over Labor Day weekend, staying with Jordan. Just saying.
